Burger King Greases Palms With Oil From Company That Kills Fewer Trees

Kings — especially ones with creepy face masks — are there to serve their subjects, so Burger King responded to complaints from critics by switching its source for palm oil in which to cook its delicacies. Led by Greenpeace, environmentalists had harangued the company from buying from a subsidiary of Sinar Mas, Indonesian outfit accused of deforestation.

Burger King announced the change late last week on its Facebook page. Nestle also abandoned the subsidiary within the past year, GreenBiz reports.

Sorry, Whopper fans. You’ll no longer get the sweet taste of forest destruction with your meal.

BK must have lost their minds. I’ve never heard of someone from Greenpeace enjoying a greasy burger, ever. Since most everyone that isn’t somehow involved with Greenpeace or its allies thinks they are insane, that means BK really didn’t need to care.

I know that if it comes from Greenpeace’s mouth, I just ignore it until I find a real news source with the truth.
